Republic snowspeeder

I heard about the y wing that is coming out, and decided to make a republic version of another rebel vehicle! It is super greebled as most of my creations are.

Here it is!


The brickshelf gallery is still loading, so I will give you guys another deeplink of it. This pic shows the front taken off to reveal a hidden compartment, that has two backpacks full of stuff in case of a crash.

Hope you guys like it, I am interested what everyone thinks about it!

Not to shabby, I think the nose is a little stubby though. It's nice and small, great for reconnaissance. Not bad!

Yes, nice greebling but it's just too much for a small ship. But in fact, the Y-wing was a rebel variant of the Rep one, not the other way!

very nice . Which planet will be seeing this in? And If you do use this in battle I would make a second one so Ait doesnt look like its a proto-type If you know what I mean .

I was in a hurry to go to dinner thank you very much

Maybe a hoth battle, I need some ideas, feel free to post some.

Wow that looks really awesome! But maybe you should fix those pieces in the front of the cockpit.

Can you elaborate some more, you confused me.

I'd say there's a bit too much greebling for such a small ship, and none of it seems to have a clear function - with good greebles, you can usually see what they're meant to do. Also, I'd say that the wings look a bit vestigial ('stubby' ), so I'd focus on broadening them, to make it look like they actually help it fly, instead of being there for decoration and to attach greebles to.

Those two big flat pieces in front of the cockpit.

I think he knows what's in front of the cockpit. What did you mean by fix them?

Maybe use different different pieces? It up to him.

I am working on it right now your right, those two pieces did look a bit weird.

Updated! thanks for the input, it looks a lot better now!

Deeplinks activated!

I like both versions! This is pretty cool; I've never seen someone try this before. great original idea, and greebling!

It's much better now that you've de-greebled it, but the wings still look a bit stumpy (and pointy!) compared to the bulky body. I say you either need to compact the body or lengthen the wingspan.

That's 10x better now, great work!

Make the wings less stumpy and you have a great MOC there!
